Continued Email Problems

[James Evans]

Frank,

I'm finally getting back to this project. The simplest email app doesn't work yet. I have attempted to use code that creates a simple email with the following result:
HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
Internet Information Services

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01AD)
ActiveX component can't create object: 'CDONTS.NewMail'
/relospec/test3.asp, line 7


The code is:
<%
Dim MyBody
Dim MyCDONTSMail
%>

<%
Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail.From= "somebody@nowhere.com"
MyCDONTSMail.To= "jevans@prosws.com"
MyCDONTSMail.Subject="This is a Test"
MyBody = "Thank you for ordering that stuff" & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & "We appretiate your business" & vbCrLf
MyBody = MyBody & "Your stuff will arrive within 7 business days"
MyCDONTSMail.Body= MyBody
MyCDONTSMail.Send
set MyCDONTSMail=nothing
%>

As you can see, line 7 is the reference to CDONTS.NewMail.

I'm using XP Pro for the OS. I am switching to a new server running NT Server in the next few days. Would you expect the new server to have the CDONTS capability I need?

Thanks.

Is this supposed to be ASP-db or ASPdb.Net code?

ASP-db.

Hi,

Your CDONTS component isn't installed right. Check the following:

and

Also, check the permissions on the folders that are involved. See here:
